People are always asking what they can snack on when trying to lose weight.
Personally I’m not a huge fan of snacking and think that for most people 2-3 meals per day is plenty.
Maybe if you are a high level athlete, or very active, sure you will need to snack to get in all your nutrients and calories.
However for most of us they are un necessary and are a big reason why people can’t lose weight.
Most of the time people snack on high calorie foods throughout the evening then call me saying, “Blaine I don’t know why I’m not losing weight, I barely eat anything, must be my metabolizm huh?”
No, it is extremely rare that it is ever a person’s metabolism.
Maybe they don’t eat anything for meals, but will eat copious amounts of high calorie snacking food throughout the evening without even realizing it.
But for you people out there that want a snack once in a while (actually I recommend keeping these around for emergency situations) is:
Dill pickles.
They are crunchy, salty, and you can have as much of them as you want as they hardly have any calories.
They may not be as satisfying as a bag of Miss Vickie’s, but they will do the trick to satisfy your craving for something crunchy and salty. (I don’t know what it is about Miss Vickie’s but they are probably in the top 5 public enemy for my clients, although they are pretty delish I must admit.)
As a bonus you can drink the juice as well.
